We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night before a comedy show and had a pretty good time--though not quite amazing enough to knock our socks off. We had a reservation but probably didn't need it; the place was quiet when we arrived around 6:30, though it got busier as we were wrapping up.To start, we tried the burrata appetizer. Honestly? Meh. You can skip it without FOMO. But the pasta? That's where they shine. I went for a ragu dish with arugula that was hearty and delicious, while my date dove into the lobster linguine (or something noodle-y and seafood-y) and loved it.The service was fantastic--both the bartender and our server were super friendly and on top of things. And the vibe inside? Adorable. Think cozy, homey, but with just enough flair to make you feel like you're out somewhere nice.If 3.5 stars existed, that'd be the sweet spot for this place. A good meal with a few misses, but worth a visit if you're in the area.

Expectations were high for this cozy Chelsea spot offering up Southern Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, the fare didn't match the allure.We went in for the Restaurant Week prix-frixe menu ($60): one appetizer, one entree, one dessert. Service was attentive, but the meal was uneven throughout. After a small plate of fresh, soft bread + oil, we split: bruschetta (toasted bread + fresh ricotta + pistachio + hot honey) and fried artichokes in a mustard aioli. The bruschetta was excellent, with the creamy ricotta playing off the toasted pistachio and slightly spicy sweetness of the honey. The artichokes weren't anything special: mostly leaves with an underwhelming sauce, though the few hearts were tender and bright.For entrees: Gnocchi Alla Norma (gnocchi + eggplant + ricotta salata) and ravioli filled with ricotta in a mushroom and marinara sauce. Pastai does fresh pasta very well, though the sauces on both dishes lacked depth.The desserts fared much better: both the sfinci (ricotta doughnut balls filled with orange vanilla creme, topped with bitter chocolate sauce and candied orange peel) and cannoli (fried pastry shells with sweet ricotta cream, chocolate, and candied orange peel) hit all the right notes.

This is a gorgeous little spot, but unfortunately the food didn't hold up. The complimentary bread was not good - I actually mistakenly assumed it was gluten free because it was so bad. Entrees were weirdly soupy. Service was slow and scattered, seemed like there was only one waiter on a Friday night. Overall not much reason to visit unless you're looking for a gluten free friendly spot

Really enjoyed my time here! The second I walked in I noticed how quiet and peaceful the environment was. The dim light feel also adds to the authentic Italian feel. Everything was beautifully decorated and the tables were not overwhelmingly close together which I appreciated. My service pup was welcomed kindly which I also appreciated. Our waitress was patient, helpful and very caring. We wanted a cheese platter with other things that weren't included and the staff made it work for us. I also tried the pasta based on the recommendation of the waitress and I did NOT REGRET it at all. Great taste. Everything was perfect and I really had a great night here. We were the last ones to leave and didn't get rushed out. This place has AMAZING costumer service. I will be back.

Walked in for dinner during restaurant week. We decided a la carte vs restaurant week didn't make a big difference, so we ended up ordering a la carte. The food was great although I did need to add salt/spice per my own preferences. Service was great and the restaurant was cute! I would come back.

The garganelli con burrata past was okay. Could have used more a flavor. The cherry tomatoes were fresh as can be. More tomatoes would have helped bring more to the plate. The create your own Pastai was made with bucatini with tomato sauce and a meatballs. The tomato sauce was very good , you can tell they use fresh tomatoes for it. The meatball tasted delicious! The service was good there was one person sitting at the bar and one table outside so it's somewhere a reservation might not be necessary for lunch .

Stopped in to Pastai before heading to work an event for Tribeca Film Fest yesterday, and we were excited for the dinner, but then let down afterwards.The restaurant is intimate, only a handful of tables, relaxing decor, low volume crowd so you can hear your guests you dine with, great bartender making drinks so big thumbs up there, and a menu of food items that seem to be the best thing ever.However, things were not impressive when we got our food taste wise.The fried olives were my favorite of everything though, best app to get, it doesn't come with sauce but I recommend asking for some kind of dipping sauce because this dish deserves it.The potato croquettes were underwhelming and bland, nothing special here, just tasted like raw potato with some meat in the middle.The servers are friendly, and efficient, as well as the other staff on site.The pastas were both very ordinary and bland. Also my gf's was salty and she didn't care for it. Mine was the Cauliflower one and it was tasteless and lacking. Nothing special and just, fill your stomach kind of food.Manhattan dinner, Manhattan prices, Inflation we get it. 2 drinks 2 apps 2 mains. $140 including tip out the door.Bottom line, not worth it, I'd look elsewhere for a special evening. Regular dinner on the fly though, sure why not.

One of the best palaces in Chelsea. Fresh homemade pasta and the place is very modern. I felt I was in Italy while I was eating my paccheri ala genovese. Must try !

Food and service were both so good!! Our waiter was very sweet and attentive, and the lobster tagliatelle and paccheri alla genovese were fresh and delicious. I loved the inherently lemon flavor of the tagliatelle and the rich sweet onion taste embedded in the paccheri too. The tomato basil shrimp bruschetta was also refreshing and flavorful - perfect for summer

dropped in to pastai for a quick lunch. we were greeted by the most lovely man (they opened the doors 30 minutes early for us) and he was so helpful in helping us decide on what to get.basically every pasta but the ravioli and lasagna could be made gluten free and this pasta did NOT disappoint. the decor was ADORABLE and felt like a home away from home.
